Reverse genetics systems allow the functions of genes to be determined by changing an individual gene and observing the result, creating what is known as a recombinant virus. They are powerful tools ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

New Haven, Conn. — The 2025 Gruber Genetics Prize is being awarded to geneticist and molecular biologist Rotem Sorek, Ph.D., of the Weizmann Institute of Science, for his discoveries in the immune ...

Cell and gene therapies have offered hope to patients with genetic abnormalities (e.g., rare diseases) or long-term disorders such as cancer. Innovative approaches for correcting sequences via editing ...

Improving the genetic circuits in eukaryotic protein production systems—like human cell lines or Chinese hamster ovaries—has the potential to enhance their value so they may offer not only their own ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature Aging investigated the genetic architecture of artificial intelligence (AI)-derived biological age gaps (BAGs) for multiple organ systems and their links ...

Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have developed a reverse genetics system for ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...
